Re: [meteorite-list] Sikhote-Alin Question
Hi All, I knew I had seen that feature somewhere, but I could not remember at the time. Anyway I found it. It was in a 0.334g oriented Bensour individual I have in my collection.

AW: [meteorite-list] Sikhote-Alin Question
Here a pic with a troilite in Sikhote. http://it.geocities.com/mcomemeteoritecollection/SikhoteAlin.JPG I would guess, that it would have been rather a lenticular troilite torn out. Schreibersite surrounding troilite or alone, wouldn't mark such a sharp border in my opinion, especially not in Sikhote, where we find it often in large skeletons of crystals. But where I have problems of understanding, is, how such a circular shape could have survived in a shrapnel at those high forces at the impact? Wouldn't be some deformation to be expect, as e.g. it happened to this inclusion in a shrapnel? http://www.meteorite.com/gallery/mh_sikhote-11.jpg Unfortunately now the pics from that auction seems not to be available anymore. Weren't there other regular shaped pits connected to that hole? To me it looks like a later deformation.

I decided to play a little bit here. So I created some subtitles for a part of the movie. I cut the end of the movie and kept the only part with field works. I want you not to judge me so much because that was my first experience with this software. I translated sentence by sentence from the voice behind the screen. I also used an online translator from Russian to English. It paid off as long as I wanted to do this job fast to see if I'm able to create something like that. Of course I modified sentences but not all of them and not perfect. Actually I can't modify them perfect as long as my own English is far away from perfect ;-) Also for some reason the software changed the size of the file (and screen resolution) so now the file is about 70Mb (was 56Mb) and instead of actual 320x240 I have 640x480. You can switch your player to 50% view and it will be the same quality as original (I guess ;-)). One more time: that was my first try with this software and correction of video files at all. I played for 9 hours but I can see now that I can do it! That was a fun for me yesterday! If somebody thinks that I should try more and keep translating the rest of the movie (some nice meteorites from great collection of Russian academy of sciences are showing on the end of it without translation) I can find some time later to do this. But I think that first part must be re-done to be more readable. If somebody has an interest to help me with this please send me your thoughts of how subtitles must be written. I will try to get the file back to the original resolution later also. That should reduce the size of the file. The file is in the same format as it was (.wmv).

I decided to play a little bit here. So I created some subtitles for a part of the movie. Thanks for making the time and effort to provide a translation (which I haven't seen yet because it is still downloading). There is, though, an easier way to make the subtitles available to everyone. There are several formats now for soft or software subtitles, which are stored in a seperate file. Some of the formats are as simple as text files that contain the text plus the time index of when the line that was translated was said. The subtitle file is then saved with the same name as the video file, but with a different extension-- for example, if the movie is call sikhote.avi, the subtitle would be sikhote.srt. Some media players (such as the beyond excellent freeware Media Player Classic) can read these subtitle files directly, and there are various small helper applications to allow other media players to read the file. Using this method, you don't have to re-encode video, and you don't have to have the space and bandwidth to allow people to download translations, and people don't have to have the bandwidth to download new versions of the film. I use these all the time when watching foriegn language movies with no official English translation. Here's a small clip of a random SRT file that I still have on my hard drive (it happens to be from the Japanese move Azumi 2: Death or Love, just for the record). See the syntax-- it is a plain-text file saved with the extension .srt. You number each line, put the time index to start displaying the subtitle, the time index when you stop displaying the subtitle, and then the line to be shown. No special header or footer text needs to be added at the beginning or end. It would probably end up being easier to do than whichever software you are using now.
